7 days with out food is fatal, and I believe it is 5 days without water is fatal. You will sooner die from those before you die from lack of sleep.
I don't believe that's true. If you have water but no food, you can last longer than 7 days, assuming that you're healthy to begin with.
You can last longer then 7 days, I never said it was the point of death, I just said it is fatal. Meaning that is when you will start getting brain damage. I went 6 days without food before.

31 hours -- feel good as new, to tell the truth. A bit fatigued and out of it, but I'd rather be up and going instead of in a bed. I think it might have to do with the sun being out.

If you stay awake longer, when finally going to sleep, will it be better? Cause I can't imagine how amazing it would feel to sleep after staying awake for 120 hours

Randy Gardner went into "deep sleep" for twelve hours or something like that. I would guess that it would feel pretty good, lol.

I personally don't think it can feel any better than when I go to sleep even after being awake for 15 minutes.

Yup, forty-one hours and counting.

I've found that being outside really helps. I feel the least tired when I'm walking around the block.

I started to get kind of weird last night. I couldn't concentrate on anything and my vision kept tweaking out. To make a long story short, I just woke up with the desktop on and SSBM running with me as Falcon against a level 1 Bowser (paused). I was trying my dad's CoD4 on the computer, but I kept zoning out and running into walls and getting shot. As another attempt to fight off the eye-shutting, I probably tried to go beat up a Bowser with Falcon but fell asleep before then, too.

I just got done talking to my dad and he says that I should just go to bed now. I can't really think of anything else to do which really sort of sucks. I might try to salvage the remaining break and stay up for three or four days, but I have school next week to be aware of too. I might need to take those days, though, because I'm not going to get another shot at this anytime soon.

Right now I'm just really frustrated and disappointed. I can't believe that after all of that I simply fell asleep. My dad suggests that maybe I didn't actually fall asleep--which I'm considering--but the "zoning" must have lasted a few hours. I told EVERYONE about this attempt and it's really really embarrassing to have f***ed up so quick.

I'll probably try again for three or four days before this break ends. My original goal was four days anyway. If I do try again this week, though, I won't be nearly as enthused as last try.

You should have bred me a sweet Sandshrew! That's exciting enough to keep you awake!

Did you make 48 hours? That's not so bad of an achievement in itself. I think you were underestimating the difficulty of staying up so long when you planned this.

I stayed up for about forty-two hours.

I'm going to try again for four days because I'm sure I can make it. Starting time is 10:54 A.M, October 6 (hawaii time)

6-7 hours

Not a whole lot, but I'm sure it was deeper sleep than normal. Plus there's the few hours of "sleep" I got that made me lose.

I'm really determined to make four days because I'm really certain that I can.

He said lose. You don't lose a goal. You fail to reach a goal. Since he said that getting sleep made him lose, it sounded like a game

Play videogames in a white room, with lots of light, and electrodes attached to your body that shock you every 5 minutes.


You'll probably go crazy though.
